Tight End
No. 88
Oregon State
"When Aaron Thomas came to the Giants in a trade with the 49ers in 1962, he gave them insurance in the pass-catching department. Then injuries over the next couple of seasons to tight end Joe Walton, split end Del Shofner and flanker Frank Gifford resulted in the Giants redeeming the premium. Aaron's had to replace them all at one time or another, and that may be why he hasn't found a regular spot until now.
Chances are the Giants will try him at tight end this year to take advantage of his blocking ability. He was their leading pass receiver last year, with 43 catches for 624 yards and six touchdowns."
-Jack Zanger, Pro Football 1965
